Moses Support Digest: moses install on 64-bit

[Moses-support] moses install on 64-bit

Hi,
I’m trying to install moses onto a 64-bit linux machine. I have compiled srilm with the MACHINE_TYPE variable set to “i686-m64″. Now, when compiling moses, I get this :

//////////////////Making all in moses/src
make[2]: Entering directory `/data/acp08avk/darwin/moses/moses/src’
make all-am
make[3]: Entering directory `/data/acp08avk/darwin/moses/moses/src’

I have searched online and found this post by someone

/////Hi Iain,

I used to have the same problem and I fixed it by modifying LDFLAGS in 4 Makefile files to srilm 64-bit version.

Hope this help,
Nguyen

I cant seem to understand the advice given above. modify 4 Makefile files? There is only one Makefile inside the moses directory and that has only one instance of LDFLAGS. Could anybody please explain to me what the given advice actually means?

Thanks,
Aditya


Re:[Moses-support] moses install on 64-bit

as far as i remember from my last 64bit install, Moses gets the architecture type from the result of an SRILM script. in the SRILM toolkit, the architecture type is correctly reported UNLESS you are on a 64bit machine. this is to allow you to compile everything on a mixed-arch cluster with one script (and secretly just compiles everything as 32bit). i reported this as a bug, but it turns out it’s a feature in SRILM anyway, i edited the ‘configure’ file to comment out this line:
<<<
# MY_ARCH=`${with_srilm}/sbin/machine-type`
>>>
and replaced it with this:
<<<
MY_ARCH="i686-m64"
>>>

and then Moses compiled just fine, with no makefile modifications.
